hi, i recently bought a teenslylu board, seemed compact.
but now i cant seem to get it uploaded with my arduino ide, or the teensy loader, or the windows cmd way.
in the arduino IDE i get "Unable find Teensy Loader. Is the Teensy Loader application running?"
while teensy loader IS running... i tried everything; pushing reset, push and hold reset, reboot, different windows user... the windows drivers are installed and everything, the boards led is constantly on, without any blinking. when the board is connected and i push the resetbttn, windows sounds the new hardware connected/disconnected-sound, so the board does communicate with pc. when i try compiling/uploading with the arduino ide, i get the "Unable find Teensy Loader. Is the Teensy Loader application running?" message, wether i press the reset, press and hold or do nothing.
i'm out of idea's,
anyone?....
 
This happens to me on Linux every time _AFTER_ the first upload on the Teensy 3.x and Teensy++ 2.0.

Paul, please add a longer/configurable delay to wait for reboot to complete. It will also help to reacquire the device before programming because it is re-enumerated.
Note that the CLI uploader works flawlessly.
I add an additional delay of about 5 seconds after the CLI does the reboot, and the device is then ready every time.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Paul,

I got now the same error message.

ENV: Teensy3 x86_64 with Fedora 20 Arduino 1.0.5 Teensyduino 1.18
The Teensy is working fine up to now.
For flashing a new release of my software after 9 Month I took Ardiuno SW and Teesyduino installed it incl udev rules.

So far so good.

What I can see in /dev the is ttyACM0, but Arduino IDE shows me Teensy3 on COM1.
After pressing the Reset button ttyACM0 disappears in /dev and does not reappear. Maybe thats correct behavior while flashing but this does not happen for the tensy loader seems not to be found....

thanks

Hi, i think i solved my prob by using a Vista pc instead of xp laptop, seemed like i could not apply admin rights to the teensy app in xp.
however, after uploading new firmware, i cant seem to connect with any hostsoftware.
ArduinoIDE says "upload complete", en then says "Please press the RESET BUTTON on your Teensy to upload your sketch. Auto-reboot only works if the Teensy is running a previous sketch."
 
That is not a PJRC product and if the seller directed you to PJRC for assistance with it then they are doing the wrong thing and maybe you should just ask for your money back.

Look here instead: http://reprap.org/wiki/Printrboard - you want the bit where they talk about the LUFA CDC bootloader

the man asked wich board, i've tried the two types of bootloader, cmd, ..
doesnt matter .
prob NOW is arduino IDE says the firmware has been uploaded but still gives:
ardu.jpg
and i have been, like a retard seal, pressing the damn reset bttn in every way.
& hostsofware wont connect to it, yes, its the right com port, right baudrate, so im concluding there has been uploaded jack sh*t.
i did everything on here http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Teensylu, read http://reprap.org/wiki/Teensylu
but did not try the atmel way on
http://reprap.org/wiki/Printrboard
so this is result.

This is still not a PJRC product and will ot work with the Teensy Loader application. It does not contain the Halfkay booloader required to make it work with Teensyduino.

This issue does not belong on a PJRC forum. Perhaps the makers of the board you've purchased have their own forum where they provide customer service ?
 
I agree. The people who sold this product should be supporting it.

They're already saved plenty by copying & using the free open source code I've published. The least they could do is support their own products, where not a penny goes to PJRC, rather than sending their customers here for support!

it came from geeetech.com, .they have a support site ; http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Teensylu
wich says that a lufa cdc is preinstalled, and wich guide i followed.

i had a prob with it obviously, and I came here after a google search, no one sent me,
but it's clear i've chosen the wrong forum to post on, so i'll move on, thanks anyway.
